Not the most flattering pose for a morning dove. Found the focus a little off. Would have liked to have seen more detail in the feathers

Point & Shoot Challenge/Fun/work around

Set f-stop at –2
Candle on a black cloth and background
Placed a white background behind the candle
Set the timer
Located the Focus point on the back of the candle
Depressed shutter button so camera could do it̢۪s thing
As timer was counting down, I removed the white background, repositioned candle within frame, and turned of the light in the room.
Minor USM after
